proposals to reform social welfare in the recent German policy debate. We analyse a specific reform proposal with the following … effects of this welfare reform proposal are simulated on the basis of an econometrically estimated partialequilibrium labour … expenditures may be substantial, although the expected labour supply and employment effects of this reform are much smaller than is …

expectations concerning sales, prices, demand, profit and employment cannot be found. Binary probit model estimation results … bivariate probit model with sample selection estimation results show. In general, item-nonresponse tends to be higher for online-respondents. …

between preferences and wages is key. To overcome this restriction, we propose a flexible estimation strategy that nests … elasticities derived from microeconometric models can also be explained by modeling assumptions with respect to wages. Specifically … very sensitive to the treatment of wages. In particular, the often-made but highly restrictive independence assumption …

We present a new and simple empirical methodology to identify relative wage rigidity dynamics. The methodology is applied to data from the Polish Labour Force Survey for the period 1994 to 1998. We estimate ceteris paribus changes in relative wage and unemployment differentials for various...

We structurally estimate an equilibrium search model using German administrative data and use this for counterfactual analyses of a uniform minimum wage. The model with worker and firm heterogeneity does not restrict the sign of employment effects a priori and allows for different job offer...

Consumption based equivalence scales are estimated by applying the extended partially linear model (EPLM) to the 1998 Income and Consumption Survey (EVS) carried out in Germany. In this model the equivalence scales are identified by virtue of nonlinearities in household demand. Therefore, the...

In this paper, we test empirically for strategic behaviour among the states using the cash support program Aid to Families with Dependant Children (AFDC). To motivate the empirical work, we adept Wildasin´s [41] model of income redistribution to a model of "interjurisdictional welfare...

Assar Lindbeck has pointed to the problem that generous welfare state institutions may in the long-run undermine those social norms which limit the costs and incentives effects of the welfare state and thus guarantee its viability. This study is the first to assess the empirical validity of...
